      <![CDATA[What we would see as a supernova of Betelgeuse would have actually happened 640 years ago, Seth's distance being incorrect. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlegeuse" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlegeuse</a><br>
According to this writeup, a supernova need to be within 100 light years of Earth to effect it's biosphere: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_supernova" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_su&hellip;</a><br>
also, a list of "nearby" supernova candidates:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supernova_candidates<br>
